It's depressingly hard to get politicians to invest in solving problems that can be waved away as moral failure on the part of the victims.

- proverbialbunny 6y agoYep. Most people do not know the primary cause of drug abuse is AvPD, which, like covid, is not within the control of the drug abuser. In theory a therapist and support group can help, but unlike going to the hospital, one has to choose to grow and improve to get help from a therapist. One of the symptoms of AvPD is the avoidance of this kind of growth, making it an unfortunate and challenging problem. Going to a therapist isn't enough. There needs to be a cultural change, so that we all know (including those suffering) that there is a way out.
- aeternum 6y agoIs there really a solution to the problem? SF has lots of programs for those who want help, many don't.
